Books in Fieri

Only Another Negro: Racial Violence in Georgia (1875-1935). In twelve chapters, the book tackles the issue of

racial violence in historical perspective (1875-1930) in the state of Georgia, in the US South. From the rarer

lynchings, to the unique 1906 Atlanta race riot, to every-day, ordinary whippings of African Americans, the book

tells the story of how Southern whites maintained their economic, political, and social supremacy after

emancipation, often through violence. The book draws upon a wealth of historical evidence: over 4,000

newspaper articles on events of lynching and whipping, newspaper editorials, books, and pamphlets on issues of

race, census records, archival material, court records, photographs of lynchings, comments left by visitors at the

2002 exhibit of lynching photographs at the Martin Luther King Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. This material is

handled through a large variety of methodological tools: Quantitative Narrative Analysis (QNA), a technique of

textual analysis developed by the author that extracts from narratives detailed information about the Who, the

What, When, Where, Why, and How; Natural Language Processing tools aimed at finding patterns in textual

data; Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis aimed at mapping the location of events; network analysis

aimed at mapping the relation among actors around specific spheres of action. Results are mostly presented

visually: charts, network graphs, geographic maps, word clouds.

The research project behind the book will also result in three different historical digital humanities websites.

Closing Circles: Of Metaphors and Metonimies. The book is structured in three main chapters, each dealing with

different aspects of Quantitative Narrative Analysis. The plot structure of each chapter leads the chapter to end

where it started, closing a circle (Goethe-Propp-Goethe; Greimas-Latour-Greimas, Erasmus-Greimas-Erasmus).

More broadly, the book deals with ways on knowing: metaphoric or metonymic.

Triptych: Portraits of Art and Science. An excursus in the history of science and the relation between art and

science, natural sciences and the social sciences focused on the figures of Galileo, Newton, Goethe, Simmel, and

Weber.

Other Work

PC-ACE, Program for Computer-Assisted Coding of Events.

PC-ACE is a software that runs in a Windows environment on an MS ACCESS engine and that allows coding of textual data on

the basis of a semantic grammar. The software can be downloaded at www.pc-ace.com. PC-ACE is currently on release v.834.

About 2 or 3 new releases a year are uploaded to the PC-ACE website. New website created in March 2016. Some 200,000 lines

of VBA and Java code, over 150 TIPS files, nearly 40 YouTube video tutorials. The new release also has extensive NLP (Natural

Language Processing) capabilities.

Digital Scholarship

Lynchings in Georgia (1875-1930) Website.

The website, provisionally housed at http://dev.emorydisc.org/galyn/ was prepared under a Mellon Foundation Digital

Humanities Scholarship award. The website contains over 1,000 original newspaper articles on some 500 lynchings that occurred

in Georgia between 1875 and 1930. The website displays GIS maps with timelines and network graphs.

1906 Atlanta Race Riot Website.

The project maps on a 1906 geocoded map of Atlanta every act of violence perpetrated by white mobs against blacks during the

days of the riot (Saturday September 22 through Monday 24). The website will make available hundreds of newspaper articles on

the events. It will allow site visitors to analyze and visualize the words used in both editorials and news articles through Natural

Language Processing (NLP) tools. It will display network graphs of the relations of violence between actors. Finally, it will allow

visitors to bring up the available historical records of the victims of violence for whom names are known.

Georgia Historical Newspapers (1875-1940) Website.

The project maps on a map of Georgia all known Georgia historical newspapers, both white and African American. It will

provide a timeline of these newspapers and basic information about the papers.

Racial Violence in America (1960-1995) Website.

Based on the recently released data by McAdam et al. on all instances of racial violence reported in The New York Times between

1960 and 1995, the website will map the over 1200 events displaying the NYT source of information.
